- Title
SOUND STOPS WHITE WHALE.
- Abstract
The article reports on the experiment conducted at Bristol Bay, Alaska by researchers James F. Fish of the Naval Undersea Research and Development Center, and John S. Vania of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game on underwater sounds. Fish and Vania have discovered that underwater sound could be effectively used in preventing white whales, or belugas, from entering the Kvichak River. An underwater sound projector was used to test the effectiveness of underwater sound for stopping the invasion of the belugas into the river. In addition, playback of killer whale vocalization was 100% effective in keeping the whales down river.
